Chapter 122 Northwest Wind
After Jin Fenglian figured it out, she made a solemn promise to Ye Lin that she would never delay Xiulan from taking the imperial examination.
Seeing that she had a determined look and was eager to get the doctorate, Ye Lin took her back to the house without worry.
As it turned out, he was too relieved too early.
Just now, the bodyguard carried the things they bought into the house. There were so many things that they filled up the entire table and some were placed directly on the floor.
As Jin Fenglian entered the room, her eyes lit up and she turned around to stare at the two high-quality young men enthusiastically.
There was actually malted milk here, which she had been reluctant to buy before!
Count it, it’s still eight barrels!
Oh, where can I find such a generous son-in-law!
When Cui Erzhu was engaged to Xiuhong, he was willing to buy two kilograms of lard snacks for his home. Wen Qianjin from the old family was even more stingy, and only bought a bucket of malted milk for Old Lady Ye when they got married.
Look at that young man, it’s not a festival, but he gave out eight buckets of candy and two big bags of candy, enough for a wedding banquet. He also gave out countless snacks, such as sunflower seeds and biscuits.
Even city workers don't buy so many things when they get married.
It's a pity that her daughter Xiulan has to take the imperial examination to become a high-ranking official, and these two young men don't know whose girl has been lucky enough to get it.
Bao Anquan and Ban Li saw that Third Aunt Ye was smiling and frowning at them, as if there was something wrong with them.
They both looked themselves up and down, and then secretly checked each other.
That’s right, there are no holes in the clothes, no bald spot on the head, no eye boogers in the corners of the eyes, and no vegetable leaves on the teeth.
But why did Aunt Ye San always look at them with a regretful expression and a sad face and shook her head?
Did they buy too little?
They miscalculated. They should have bought things from Hong Kong before coming back. They really couldn't find anything valuable here.
The most expensive item was the radio, and they hadn't gotten an industrial ticket yet.
Bao Anquan and Ban Li were a little reserved. They sat upright in their seats, but their four legs were under the table, bumping against each other as if they were blaming each other.
"Why are you two sitting so straight? Be more casual."
Seeing that the two of them were like primary school students listening to a lecture, Ye Lin pulled a chair over and sat next to them. He picked up the teapot on the corner of the table and refilled their cups with tea.
Bao Anquan looked at the tea in the cup with resentment. He had drunk three cups of water since he entered the room. They were all poured for him by Aunt Ye San just now. He had to drink them.
Seeing that Ye Lin was about to refill his teapot, he finally couldn't help but raise his hand to stop the teapot from tilting, and took it over.
"Ye Zi, don't bother. I'll pour it myself."
"Okay, then. Come on yourself."
"well."
Bao Anquan took the teapot and refilled it for Ban Li.
"Hmm."
Under the table, Ban Li raised his right foot and stepped hard on his leather shoes, twisting the tip of the shoe on his instep a few times.
Old Man Ye had met them in the provincial capital. He liked these two guys very much at that time because they were smart and lively. He missed them a lot after not seeing them for a few days.
Cheerfully peeling peanuts for the two of them
"We're all family, why are you being so polite? What are you two bringing with you? Don't bring anything with you in the future, or Grandpa will be unhappy."
Ban Li stood up slightly, took the handful of peanuts given by Old Man Ye with both hands, and nodded obediently.
"We listened to Grandpa and won't bring any next time. This time we want to honor you and Grandma. These are just some food and not worth much, so you must accept them."
He kicked Bao Anquan, who was standing next to him with a distorted face, wanting to crawl under the table to rub his feet.
"Don't you think so, Old Bao?"
Bao Anquan gritted his teeth and said, "You are right, Grandpa, we came here in a hurry and didn't bring anything good. Please don't despise us."
"Okay, then thanks to you two, Grandpa will have enough to eat until the New Year."
Old Mrs. Ye and Zhao Zhaodi came in together carrying dumplings, Ye Li brought fried chicken, and behind them were Ye Ling and Wen Hai who were carrying lotus root boxes.
Seeing that all the dishes were ready, Zhao Zhaodi began to invite everyone to eat together.
After sitting down, I found that one person was missing.
Ye Dajun and Ye Sanxing were busy harvesting radishes in the fields and had no time to come back, so the two bodyguards went to help. Ye Xiuhong went to the fields to bring them food.
It’s Ye Yang. He was here in the morning, but now he’s gone again.
Zhao Zhaodi quickly picked up the chicken on the plate, and sure enough, a chicken wing was missing.
"He's been a thief all day long. Come on, let's eat the whole chicken today. Don't even leave the butt for him. Let that bastard gnaw on his wife's chicken bones!"
Zhao Zhaodi angrily began to distribute the chicken to everyone.
The old couple of the Ye family each gave a chicken thigh, the chicken breast was given to the guests, the remaining chicken wing was given to Ye Lin, and the two chicken feet were given to Ye Ling and Wen Hai respectively.
The remaining chicken necks, chicken butts, chicken heads, etc. were eaten by the adults.
After a while, there was only a little soup left in the bowl, not even a piece of chicken skin left.
Seeing that Zhao Zhaodi was unhappy, Bao Anquan quietly asked Ye Lin, "What's wrong, aunt?"
He thought Aunt Ye was a nice person, so why did she look so upset just after she touched the chicken?
Ye Lin lowered his head to gnaw on his chicken wings, winked at him, and signaled Bao Anquan not to ask questions that he shouldn't ask. He glanced at Zhao Zhaodi, who didn't pay attention to them and started to divide the lotus root boxes quickly.
Explain to him quickly and quietly
"My aunt doesn't like my cousin's ex-wife. She's currently undergoing reform on the farm and isn't having a good time. I guess my cousin is going there to get food again."
"So that's how it is."
Bao Anquan nodded with relief, as long as she didn't mind that he didn't bring enough things.
Ban Li thought of his brother, who still didn't know where to start his reform. He asked Secretary Wang to find out, but there was no response yet.
Suddenly, he felt that the chicken in the bowl no longer smelled good. Would his brother not be able to eat either?
He absentmindedly poked the chicken in the bowl with his chopsticks.
"Puff!"
Two fried lotus root boxes with the aroma of fried food rolled into his bowl.
Then, Aunt Ye's doubtful voice sounded above my head.
"What's this kid doing? He has chicken but he's not eating it. I'll give you another lotus root box."
Another golden lotus root box rolled into the bowl. Each lotus root box was as big as the palm of a hand, and the three lotus root boxes could hardly fit into the bowl.
There are many people in the family, and the lotus root boxes are very good. If he eats one more, someone else will have to eat one less. This won't work.
Ban Li picked up the lotus root box with chopsticks and planned to return it to Zhao Zhaodi.
"Aunt, that won't work. There are two of us, so how can I eat more?"
Zhao Zhaodi blocked his chopsticks and pushed them back into the bowl, letting him eat in peace.
"It's okay. You can eat my son's share. I have the final say. He doesn't need to eat. He can survive by starving. Let's eat it all!"
